Since 2007, the Artis Grant Program has demonstrated significant support for international exhibitions and projects that advance innovative thinking about contemporary visual art from Israel. We are proud to have awarded over $1,000,000 in grants to 60 organizations in 16 countries in support of landmark exhibitions and projects at institutions. In 2015, The Artis Grant Program is expanding to support four grant areas that emphasize innovation, experimentation, cultural exchange, and artistic excellence in accordance with our Core Values.

Artis has shaped the role and recognition of visual art from Israel by commissioning and presenting ambitious public programs in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and London, including lectures, performances, exhibitions, artist talks and commissions. With a commitment to meaningful partnerships with esteemed institutions and platforms, Artis is proud to have partnered with MoMA/PS1, the New Museum, Performa, Tate Modern, and MoCA Los Angeles, in addition to participation in NADA art fairs in Miami and New York in 2011, 2012, and 2014 and the Armory Show in 2015. Artis public programs are always free and open to the public.

Since 2007, Artis has hosted over 130 leading international museum directors, curators and critics on our semi-annual Research Trips, designed to provide leading members of the international art community with an immersive experience and unparalleled opportunities to engage with Israel’s diverse visual arts community while exploring historical and contemporary sociopolitical developments.

Since 2011, Artis has fostered career development opportunities for artists from Israel, first with workshops with Creative Capital and now through the Artist Career Development Program, in partnership with Asylum Arts and Artport, in Tel Aviv. With over 120 graduates to date, this intensive three-day program provides sustainability tools for emerging visual artists as well as an opportunity for artists to deepen their own sense of community.
